FEATURES
The 2018 vintage for Burgundy was widely considered a "dream vintage," offering generous volumes and superb quality. Domaine Bachelet-Monnot's Puligny-Montrachet (blanc) 2018 is a testament to this, showcasing the elegance and refinement for which Puligny-Montrachet wines are renowned. A mild spring ensured perfect flowering, and while the summer was hot and dry, the vines benefited from ample water reserves built up during the winter. Bachelet-Monnot is recognized as a leading producer of white Burgundy, consistently crafting wines that express their terroir with precision.
This white Burgundy presents noble and distinguished aromas, featuring notes of citrus, beautiful minerality, and subtle toasted scents. On the palate, it is elegant and tonic, with a very long and persistent finish. Expect a complex profile with hints of butter, oak, and vanilla, alongside earthy notes of minerals, stone, and honey. Fruit characteristics include pear, peach, apple, and various citrus notes like lemon and grapefruit. Some tasters also note a slight reductive character, ripe tropical fruit, and a saline streak, with underlying hints of flint, gunpowder, almond, and grilled lemon.
🍴 This exquisite Chardonnay is an ideal companion for grilled veal served with mushrooms, grilled saltwater fish, and goat cheese. It also pairs wonderfully with shellfish, pasta, rich fish such as salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. For a more luxurious pairing, consider creamed fish or truffled foie gras.
🥂 Perfect for fine dining, special celebrations, or as an impressive wine to share with connoisseurs. It can be enjoyed now for its vibrant character or cellared for a few more years to allow further development and complexity. 【Dream vintage offering superb quality and elegance from a top Burgundy producer】.
